Call for Papers:
The 46th annual Penn Linguistics Conference (PLC 46) will take place virtually on March 18-20, 2022.
Undergraduate session: PLC 46 will feature a special session devoted to the presentation of undergraduate research. Undergraduate students are warmly encouraged to submit an abstract showcasing their research in any subfield of linguistics and related disciplines.
Deadline: Abstracts are due by November 7, 2021. Notification of acceptance will be given by the end of January 2022.
Submission Guidelines: We welcome papers in linguistics and associated fields on any topic and in any approach. Session topics in recent years have included – but are not limited to – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and pragmatics. We encourage abstracts on both spoken and signed languages. Speakers will have twenty minutes for each presentation, followed by five minutes for discussion and questions. The conference will also include a virtual poster session. Abstracts should indicate whether they are being submitted for consideration as a talk, poster, or both. (See instructions for authors below.)
Length: Please limit abstracts to two single-spaced pages in 12pt font, including examples, figures, and references. Examples and figures may be interspersed with text.
Abstracts should be anonymized: please do not include your name or affiliation within the abstract.
